I'm torn a bit on this news. I do agree that it may become watered down with too many movies. Not to mention it can confuse the hell out of the more casual Star War fans because there will be too many stories to keep track of. On the other hand there are so many cool stories and characters from the expanded universe that they can dive deeper into. It's possible they can create some new iconic characters with this as well.

I got my Star Wars figure collecting addiction under control after the marketing for episode 3 had ended. But i'm not sure if I can keep that up if they're gonna be coming out with movies every year since they will have action figures to go with each of them.

I went nuts with figures on eBay a few years ago. I got Darth Revan for forty frigging dollars, not even in a box. But I got it under control after about a years. Now it's hard to find what I'm looking for and the new figures mostly suck. I'm still looking for Bastila Shan, Exar Kun and Ulic Qul-Droma.
